HISTORY OF THE SYMPOSIUM

In the late 1980s, the initiative for Central European scientific meetings dealing with pharmaceutical technology arose as a result of the long-standing collaboration between the departments for pharmaceutical technology of the faculties of pharmacy in Trieste, Italy and Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 1993, when the Slovenian Pharmaceutical Society became a member of the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS), all conditions were fulfilled to follow the recommendations of EUFEPS assembly dedicated to the organization of regional thematic scientific meetings in Europe. As a result, the 1st Central European Symposium on Pharmaceutical Technology (CESPT) was held in October 1995 in Bled, Slovenia, under the patronage of EUFEPS.
